Believe
Cher Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No matter how hard I try
You keep pushing me aside
And I can't break through
There's no talking to you
It's so sad that you're leaving
It takes time to believe it
But after all is said and done
You're gonna be the lonely one, oh

Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no

What am I supposed to do
Sit around and wait for you?
Well I can't do that
And there's no turning back
I need time to move on
I need a love to feel strong
'Cause I've had time to think it through
And maybe I'm too good for you, oh

Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no

Well I know that I'll get through this
'Cause I know that I am strong
I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore
No I don't need you anymore

Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?




I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no

Overall Meaning

The song expresses the pain that she feels and the difficulty of letting go of someone she loves. The chorus, which asks the question "Do you believe in life after love?" is a powerful reflection on the pain of heartbreak and the hope that one day, the person can move on and find love again.


The first verse talks about the frustration of not being able to communicate with the person who is leaving her. She has tried but they keep pushing her away. She is also acknowledging that it takes time to come to terms with the breakup and accept that he is gone. Despite the sadness she feels inside, the chorus repeats the question, "Do you believe in life after love?" as if to remind herself that she can and will move on.


The second verse communicates the woman's determination to move forward with her life. She realizes that she cannot just sit around and wait for him to come back to her.

No matter how hard I try
Despite my best efforts

It's so sad that you're leaving
I'm disappointed or heartbroken that you're leaving

You're gonna be the lonely one, oh
You will be alone, despite rejecting me

My Male professor use to secretly listen to Cher every morning, I came in early to class because I am a nerd and just liked being early to prep and he quickly turned it off, probably embarrassed. I told him hey turn that back on ...I believe

He smiled then laughed and turned it back on.

@ClyneLacus18

That's sweet 😊

@Probabilityislife

Funny brother 😂. ONE LOVE.
